Game 124 Open Thread: August 14 2008
St. Louis Cardinals @ Florida Marlins
![]() |
![]() |
| Wellemeyer | Olsen |
| 9-4, 4.01 | 6-7, 4.04 |
the weekend sets up nicely for the cardinals. while they're playing a trade-depleted last-place team, the brew crew will send the rump of their rotation against the dodgers' top pitchers (billingsley, lowe, kershaw). and milwaukee has to face jake peavy tonight. so the cards have a decent opportunity to shave the gap by a game or two before they meet the brewers head-on in st. louis. make it happen, fellahs.

Brew Crew
We are 3.5 games back heading into tonight. A win, and we are 3 games back tomorrow morning, the first day of the three-game series versus the sinking Reds, as LB noted. We need The Colonel tonight because Lord knows the horrid 6-7-8-9 punch of Lopez, Miles, Colonel, and Izturis will be detrimental to our offensive efforts this evening in south Florida.

That is not really that bad of a bottom of a lineup right now
So far Lopez has been productive but not great, Miles has no power but is still hitting over 300, The pitcher is bad at hitting yeah but that is normal, and Izturis is batting about 400 for august

He's hit quite a few line drives

For the year, or by month?
Miles is hitting .250/ .276/ .250 for August. Ahhh, fun with small sample sizes. Flopez with the Cards has been equal to AK’s production for the year, which is not productive.
Kennedy: .273/ .316/ .336 (in 271 AB)
FLopez: .286/ .318/ .381 (in 21 AB)
If we go with season-long stats then Miles isn’t so bad of an insert (unless you fear he is now regressing to his below average mean) while Izturis and Flopez are black holes. That said, Izturis has been good versus lefties at .319/ .384/ .389, which is about the only thing that merits his being handed a bat.

good point on Miles
He obviously has been struggling of late. But as far as Lopez goes, he has much better tools than Kennedy, more speed and a little more power even though we have not seen it yet.

the braves having a strangle hold at home isn’t so true any longer. think it’s more about the quality of talent than anything else. however, they do have enough power not to need wrigley to do it’s job, but it sure helps

i'm not saying the brew suck
but it’s fair to say that the cubs have a level of talent well and above the brew. on almost all facets of the game. and being up in Mil is a treat for them.

Well let me retort
By record, the Brewers are the second-best team in the NL. If the Cubs are a level of talent above the Brewers, doesn’t that prove my original point that their road woes are overblown?

for the most part
I’m just saying that the Brew have used the home field advantage quite a bit this year, and that home field advantage happens to strike a chord with the cubbies as well.
if the cubs went to houston, or cinci and belted out some wins, would that be a true talent issue, or the home park serving up to a powerful visitor?
part of it has to be the latter.

It’s not like Houston and Cincy are bandboxes just for the visitors. Just as Wrigley isn’t a minipark just for the Cubs.

There are just certain pitchers that I really don't like
Obviously Brandon Backe comes to mind for obvious reasons, but Scott Olsen is right up there. Talk about an ass hat. Not only did Girardi kick his ass a couple of years ago for being a tool box, but Sergio Mitre did it last year because Olsen was going out of his way to treat the clubhouse attendant like shit (he was throwing his dirty underwear, socks and jocks and screaming at the attendant to pick it up).
Some guys just deserve an ass beatin’, and tonight would be fine enough for me for another one.

Unbelievable
…he was arrested by Aventura, Florida police after refusing to pull over for being clocked at 48 MPH in a 35 MPH zone. He fled for about a mile, at which point he stopped at his home and sat in a plastic chair in the front yard. When police arrived and tried to arrest him, he kicked at the officers who then used a taser to subdue him. Olsen failed a field sobriety test and refused a breath test. He was booked on charges of driving under the influence, resisting arrest with violence, and fleeing and eluding a police officer.
He’s clearly troubled.

BUT
(and it is a big, hence the all caps), the pitcher was on-deck, meaning that he sacrificed an RBI opportunity with the bunt and brought up the pitcher to have an RBI at-bat instead.

Somehow, someway
Lopez played that off the wall perfectly. Looked like a super-happy-fun-ball.
And a nice throw in.
And nice gritty tag by Milesey.

How could that 4th pitch be a strike and some of the others not?
It’s like the strikezone is resting on a lump of jello or something

umpirically speaking
the jello is not under the strike zone, but a bit higher

I hope that's not a serious question.
In the world I see--you are stalking elk through the damp canyon forests around the ruins of Rockefeller Center. You'll wear leather clothes that will last you the rest of your life. You'll climb the wrist-thick kudzu vines that wrap the Sears Tower. And when you look down, you'll see tiny figures pounding corn, laying strips of venison on the empty carpool lane of some abandoned superhighway.

Boy, it would be a huge help if Welley could cash in here
This feels like one of those games where you blow a bunch of chances to put the other team away until finally they sneak up on you.
